Hello everyone.
This is Lei from
the School of Health Sciences
and Biomedical Engineering
at Hebei University
of Technology.
It is my great
pleasure to present at
the Henry Stewart talks
to share with you
our recent research on
the mechanical
active biomaterials
for tissue repair
and regeneration.
This is work we have been
working for many years.
Based on a very simple idea that
if you can create
a biomaterial that
helps to actively respond to the
in vivo mechano or
mechanical response,
this material can give you
very special effects,
in helping tissue repair
and regeneration.

Today my talk is going to
cover the following parts.
We will first
introduce background
on how important the force is,
the force or stress,
how important it is in cells and
tissues and also in the process
of tissue regeneration.
Then I will just share with you
an inspirational
study I had been
conducting when I
was a Ph.D. student,
to show you why we
are thinking of
reconstructing mechano-active
biomaterials or
creating something that is
automatically a response to in
vivo mechanical
environments, which is
really helpful to
tissue regeneration.
Then, I will propose
the hypothesis or
maybe the definition of
mechano-active biomaterials.
Then I will give
you a pilot study
to show you how these,
what we call mechano-active
biomaterials, could help
tissue regeneration,
like the treatments
for the myocardial infarction.
And last, I would like
to summarize this study.
